Question 260364


{{{8x-2=2x+7}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8x=2x+7+2}}} Add {{{2}}} to both sides.



{{{8x-2x=7+2}}} Subtract {{{2x}}} from both sides.



{{{6x=7+2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=9}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(9)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=3/2}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=3/2}}}
